Schwarzenegger says the constant training helped his screen DEA unit (including Joe Manganiello as "Grinder", left, and Mireille Enos as Lizzy) to work, and bond, like their true counterparts. "We all got very close working that much together," says Schwarzenegger. Blake Tyers, Open Road Films

The intense training allowed for tightly choreographed maneuvers onscreen to be performed without constant reshoots. "There was no, 'Let's do it again because you carried the weapon the wrong way.' There was none of that," says Schwarzenegger. "There were no mistakes." Bruce McCleery, Open Road Films

Schwarzenegger took his worst haircut ever and a neck tattoo to effectively portray his war veteran character. David Ayer told the star that he didn't want him to look good for the movie, but "real." "I got used to the haircut," says Schwarzenegger. "It's like someone put a pot on my head and just cut around it." Blake Tyers, Open Road Films

Arnold Schwarzenegger (with a cornrowed Joe Maganiello) says he was proud of the ensemble cast in 'Sabotage,' which includes Terrence Howard, Olivia Williams, and Mireille Enos. "This is a very intense movie. I don't know if everyone has the stomach to handle this. It's brutal," he says. "We're taking the action thriller to new heights." Robert Zuckerman, Open Road Films
